I did say we had lots of varied things happening at QECP..😀 #loveqecp

The first thing that sprung to mind, as I drove Northbound along the busy A3, approaching the turning to Queen Elizabeth Country Park was..."Holy Hell! That was a tight turn!"



Once I'd found a place to park and taken out a Mortgage on my modestly sized flat to pay for a few hours parking...I used the well maintained, Visitor Centre facilities to check that I hadn't fertilised my Boxer-Shorts, before taking stock of my surroundings.



The following epiphany came quite quickly...there were bloody trees EVERYWHERE!



It's probably hard to imagine, if you haven't witnessed the spectacle for yourself. But seriously...if you like trees, then this is the place for you! I'm not talking about a particularly well maintained remembrance garden or the product of some kind of overly ambitious, 'green thumbs' initiative, here! I mean that the bloody things were stretching out, as far as I could see!



I'll admit that I wasn't quite as besotted with the incline of the topography. But the walk paths were interesting and before long, me and my party found ourselves searching for the planets in our Solar System, which were signified by wooden signs, spaced out in a scale that was appropriate to their orbital positions.



Sadly, we never got as far as Pluto. But taking into account the reality of the almost mind-boggling distances between the various objects in the outer Solar System, I fear that the scale may have demanded for the distant sphere's signifying plaque, to be in a neighbouring town. Or at least much deeper in the Forest.



Since the Scientific World has recently seen fit to confuse our childhood by wiping Pluto from the list of regular Planets, in favour of the new 'Plutoid' classification...we felt justified in giving up our search and heading back to the Cafe for a well deserved cup of Tea and a slice of Chocolate Cake.



In summary...Trees, Hills, Parking and Planets. So a great location for an afternoon stroll. Just watch that corner...it's a Doozey!

I come here quite a bit to ride the bike trails built by the qecp trail collective. But Im really impressed with the new BBQ, assualt course and dog training areas. I would really like to see more bins as there are dog poo bags discarded everywhere! Also to do more educate walkers to stay off the trails. It's for their own good!

Was there this bank holiday Monday such a nice place to take the kids for a relaxing afternoon.

On the downside there were people bringing their own bar-b-q’s. The last time I had one I had to hire it from them for an hour which if I recall was around £12-15

People do take the mick whenever they can. Also people didn’t buy parking tickets when I did. Perhaps I’m just too much of an honest person but get taken for a ride!

I love this area so nice to bring your family and especially great for dog walking. On the down side it’s the only country park that dogs aren’t alowed in the very expensive cafe . Also we have been visiting this park for over 15 years and for the past 4 years complained about big holes at the top car park which have still not been repaired . This place should be 5 stars if things were done correctly .
